The Holidays

Well, Thanksgiving was great!!

Jordan and I went to his parents on Wednesday night and had Thanksgiving dinner with his parents and brother the next day. I had the pleasure of meeting Martha's side of the family.....lets just say I'm pretty sure it won't be so awkard next time we have an impromptu encounter.

Then we went to see my Daddy! Yay! Oh, how I love him. We hung out, and dinner, watched TV, ate pie, watched a movie, then went to bed. My perfect evening. Food. TV. Pie. Movie. Bed. =0)

We came home on Friday so I could get some homework done. Of course, I wrote one 2 page paper and quit. Now, here I am at 1:28 in the morning just finishing up my first project. I need to get it together.

But first, I need sleep!

Today I....

Slept in.

Had lunch with Morgan.

Got my nails done.

Met with Lori for homework.

Went to Walmart for groceries.

Started laundry.

Homework.

More laundry.

Walked Trevor.

More homework.


Oh.......I want Jordan to come home so badly. This weekend is lasting forever.

Next time I am ditching homework to go with him.

I Love NY

I have been feeling rather nostalgic about New York City lately. I know, random thought right? Oh, I miss it so. The honking of horns, the people, the skyscrapers, and the parks.

I cry when I have to leave. If I could have Jordan and my amazing job in New York I would be in heaven. The last time I visited (in June) I despised going to my hotel room. In the event of a shower or a couple of hours of sleep, I would sit by the window of my 14th floor hotel room, literally put my hands to the window, and feel the energy. Who wouldn't want to live in a place like this?





I love walking through Central Park and hearing jazz bands. I love to walk down the street and see a Starbucks and fruit stand on every corner. Every one eats healty in New York. Walking is a must, and, despite the common idea, the subway is lots of fun!




Oh I miss it so.

When I Graduate

I get so dang tired of the question, "so what are you gonna do when you graduate!?" I feel like people want me to tell them I am going to be a marveous educator or cure cancer. Sorry folks....I hate to disappoint you but I already have a job I love...and I'm stickin' with it.

Because I need something to come up with when they ask me, I have decided to compile a list.

1. Read. And not take a quiz over it the next day.

2. Learn to cook food people can actually eat.

3. Work 8-5. No more scheduling around my classes.

4. Have a weekend to myself. No papers to write or articles to analyze.

5. Plan my wedding.

Unfortunately there are only 5 items on my list. You would think that after 5 1/2 years of school I would know what I want to do when I get out.

Too bad....I wanna relax.

Fleas

So, I am fighting an uphill battle with fleas on Trevor. (not me, just to be clear) I have done everything, EVERYTHING I tell you, to get rid of them. I don't know why they hang around. Tomorrow I have the day off of work and I am taking EXTREME measures. It will be flea bath, Adam's Flea and Tick Spray and lysol central in my apartment. Anyone is welcome to join the party. =0)

Poor Trevor. Maybe after tomorrow he will be allowed on the furniture and bed again....just maybe.

Friday

Ahhh......Friday.

No classes to attend.

No work to worry about.

Knowing I can sleep in on Saturday.

Staying up late knowing I won't feel the consequences of it the next day.

Sitting on the couch catching up on my missed TV shows from the week.



Man, I love Fridays.

"We're A Team"

The other night Jordan and I went out to eat in Abilene for my birthday. (Lots of fun!) By the time our ticket came around I already had my debit card out and was ready to pay. Jordan gave me that "I'm going to pay for it" look and said, "Um, no. I'm paying for this one"

I, of course, rolled my eyes at him, handed the red-haired woman my card and said, "You don't always have to pay for it, Honey. We're a team now."

As minut and corny this may seem, it really meant a lot to me. It struck me that it is actually happening. I am getting married. Scary! For the rest of my life I am going to pick up after someone else, cook dinner for someone else, wash laundry for someone else and constantly worry about someone else. Am I really ready for that??? Absolutely. I am ready to have someone setting the table for me when I am cooking dinner, someone to talk to when I come home, someone to help me tuck the kids into bed after a long day, and someone to lay and bed for hours and giggle the night away with.

Ahhh.....I'm ready, I found my team.
